Las Vegas, US – Wrestling icon John Cena has officially become the most decorated world champion in WWE history after securing his 17th world title at WrestleMania 41, held at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday night.

Cena faced off against Cody Rhodes in the headline bout of the evening, clinching victory in a dramatic contest that kept fans on the edge of their seats. With this win, Cena surpasses the legendary Ric Flair, who previously held the joint record of 16 recognised world championship reigns.

The historic event was streamed live globally on Netflix, marking a new era for WWE broadcasting and expanding its reach to millions of subscribers across the world. The partnership between WWE and Netflix brought the high-octane action to homes in over 190 countries, with live commentary and behind-the-scenes access enriching the viewer experience.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside Allegiant Stadium was electric, with more than 70,000 fans in attendance. The streets of Las Vegas were abuzz throughout the weekend as thousands more gathered around fan zones and outdoor screens set up by WWE to accommodate the massive turnout.

This match also carried a sentimental note, as Cena has confirmed he will retire at the end of 2025. WrestleMania 41 marked his final appearance on the grandest stage of them all, making the victory all the more poignant for his fans and the wrestling community alike.

From his debut in 2002 to now holding a record-setting title, Cena’s journey has captivated generations. Sunday night’s win cements his legacy not just as a champion, but as one of the greatest performers the sport has ever seen.

“You can’t see me” has never felt more iconic – and now, no one may ever top him.
